Setting-up / Turning Power On
1.
Before turning the power on, check the rear panel for voltage requirements. Confirm
proper voltage is available.
2.
Before turning the power on, install battery and connect any required modules (recorder,
thermometer). For instructions on connecting modules, see section 3.17.
Upon installation of any optional modules, a test is required after power up (step 5). For
the recorder, press the
key and the recorder will feed the paper to verify proper
function. For the Predictive thermometer, remove the probe from its holder and verify
85.0 (29.4) appears in the Interval/Elap. Time/Temp display.

If additional communications capabilities are required, attach a communications
interface cable to the rear panel COMMUNICATIONS CONNECTOR (44) and to the
corresponding interface connector on the peripheral instrument.
WARNING: The Communications Connector on the Accutorr Plus is only
for use with IEC 60601-1 compliant equipment.
4.
Attach the AC power cord into the rear panel AC POWER CONNECTOR (43) and into
a grounded (3-prong) Hospital Grade AC receptacle. Do not use an adapter to defeat
the ground. The green AC POWER INDICATOR (16) illuminates, indicating AC power
has been applied. The internal battery charges automatically when AC power is
applied.
WARNING: When attached to other products ensure that the total
chassis leakage currents of all units (combined) do not
exceed 300µa.
